You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+1000+-+80+=+920+
$920 is to be spent on 9% sales tax
plus cost of the truck
--------------------------------
Let +x+ = the cost of the truck alone
+x+%2B+.09x+=+920+
+1.09x+=+920+
+x+=+844.04+
-----------------
+844.04%2F1000+=+.844+
+.844%2A100+=+84.4+
84.4% for the truck
---------------------------
